Who we are

National Numeracy is the UK’s only charity dedicated to everyday maths. We aim to boost social mobility and inclusion through numeracy in communities where the need is greatest.


Our mission is to empower people to thrive by using numeracy to open up opportunities and access brighter futures, targeting communities where the need is greatest.


The role

​These are key appointments to help steer the charity through
its next phase of development. The new trustees will be inspiring, dynamic and
ambitious individuals who are committed to making a significant and lasting
improvement to numeracy levels across the UK.

While we are open to applications from candidates with
expertise and experience within a range of different professional disciplines,
we are particularly interested in candidates that can demonstrate at least one
of the following skill areas:

  • Financial
    management and oversight, including accounting (for the role of Honourable
    Treasurer)
  • Business
    development and fundraising
  • Product
    and programme development
  • Campaigning,
    PR and communications
  • Legal
  • Human
    resources
  • Technology
    and online education
  • Strategy
    and change management

Trustees are encouraged to get to know National Numeracy
well and to respond to opportunities to involve themselves in National Numeracy
activities. Beyond board meetings this might include supporting key
initiatives, such as National Numeracy Day, meeting with prospective strategic
funders, or providing guidance on major projects to the Executive team as
appropriate.

Whilst the charity is based in the South East of England, we
are looking for the right candidates from across the UK and are willing to pay
travel expenses for meeting attendance if required. We are also committed to
broadening the diversity of the board and would like to hear from applicants
who can contribute greater diversity of representation, experience and
thinking, including Black, Asian and minority ethnic people, LGBTQ+ people and
people with disabilities.
